Like many exchange students, she experienced what scientists call “culture shock”—a feeling of confusion and anxiety when facing a new and unfamiliar environment. However, instead of hiding in her room, Emily decided to face the challenge head-on. She started by learning to cook local dishes with her host family. “The first time I tried to make dumplings, they looked more like little boats than proper dumplings,” she laughs. “But my host mother, Mrs. Wang, never laughed at me. She just smiled and showed me how to fold the dough again and again.” Gradually, Emily began to discover the beauty of Lianyungang. She visited the Huaguo Mountain, where she was fascinated by the stories of the Monkey King. She walked along the seaside, collecting colorful shells and watching fishermen bring in their daily catch. She even joined a local calligraphy club, where she learned to write Chinese characters with a brush. “The most important thing I’ve learned is that different doesn’t mean wrong,” Emily says. “In the UK, we usually finish all the food on our plates to show we enjoyed the meal. But in China, my host family often left a little food to show they were full and satisfied. At first, I was confused, but now I understand that both are just different ways of being polite.” Professor Zhang Wei, who studies cultural exchange at Lianyungang Normal University, says Emily’s experience is valuable. “What Emily did is exactly what we hope all young people can do—embrace differences with an open mind and a brave heart. In today’s globalized world, this ability is more important than ever.” By the end of her six-month stay, Emily could make dumplings that looked almost as good as Mrs. Wang’s, and she gave a speech in Chinese at her school’s farewell party. “I came here as a stranger,” she said, “but I’m leaving as part of a family.” 1．How did Emily feel when she first arrived in Lianyungang? A．Excited and curious. B．Confused and anxious. C．Angry and disappointed. D．Tired and sleepy. 2．What did Emily do to deal with her difficulties? A．She stayed in her room most of the time. B．She called her mom for help every day. C．She actively learned about local culture. D．She asked to change to a different host family. 3．What does the underlined word “embrace” in Paragraph 5 most probably mean? A．refuse B．accept C．remember D．protect 4．What lesson can we learn from Emily’s story? A．East or west, home is best. B．When in Rome, do as the Romans do. C．Different cultures can enrich our lives. D．Learning Chinese is too difficult. Passage 2 （2026·江苏南京高淳外国语学校·二模） When I was 10 years old, I wanted to learn how to ride a bicycle. All my friends could ride, but I was afraid of falling down. My father promised to help me. On a sunny Saturday morning, my father took me to the park. He held the back of the bicycle while I was riding. I felt safe and started to enjoy it. But after a few minutes, my father let go. I lost my balance and fell to the ground. I hurt my knee and started crying. “I don’t want to ride anymore!” I shouted. My father helped me up and said, “Don’t give up, my dear. Everyone falls when they learn to ride a bike. The important thing is to get back on and try again.” I wiped my tears and got back on the bicycle. This time, my father didn’t hold it. I rode for a few meters before falling again. But I didn’t cry. I got up and tried again. And again. And again. After about an hour, I could ride by myself! I was so excited. I rode around the park again and again. My father watched me with a big smile on his face. That day, I learned an important lesson: never give up when you face difficulties.

She felt lost and lonely in a new country. But she was determined to learn the language and understand the culture. Sarah started by learning 50 new words every day. She wrote them on small cards and reviewed them whenever she had free time — on the bus, during lunch break, even before going to sleep. She also watched Chinese TV shows with subtitles (字幕) and listened to Chinese songs. “The first few months were really hard,” Sarah said. “I often mixed up the tones (声调).

Now, after three years, she speaks Chinese fluently. She even gives speeches in Chinese at work. “Learning Chinese changed my life,” Sarah said. “It opened up a whole new world for me.

One was good-looking, with a bold and open manner; the other was heavy-built, roughly dressed and looked very glum. The two men were handcuffed (用手铐铐住) together. The only empty seat available was opposite Miss Fairchild, so they sat down there. At first, Miss Fairchild looked at them with disinterest. Then she recognized the younger man, smiled warmly and held out her gloved hand. “Well, Mr. Easton,” she said, “Aren’t you going to greet an old friend?” Mr. Easton was surprised. He shook her hand with his left hand, smiling and saying, “Please forgive my other hand—it’s busy right now.” He lifted his right hand, which was handcuffed to the older man’s left hand.

Water it a little each morning and make sure it gets enough sunlight. Plants teach us patience and responsibility.” Though still unsure, David decided to try anyway. He put the plant by his window to get enough sunlight. Every morning, he sprinkled a small cup of water on the soil. Weeks passed, but the plant remained the same, with no sign of flowers. David sighed softly: “Maybe it will never bloom.” One evening, his mother noticed his disappointment and comforted him in a soft voice. “Growing a plant is just like reading a meaningful story. A story has its own rhythm and you can’t skip the process to rush for the ending. It is also like sowing seeds in spring—you can never expect fruits to ripen overnight. Just hold on and wait a little longer.” Encouraged by his mother’s words, David kept caring for the plant. Then one day, he was surprised to see small buds on it. A few days later, the buds bloomed into beautiful flowers. When his uncle visited again, David happily showed him the flowers. “Look! It bloomed!” His uncle smiled and said, “You did a great job—this is the gift of patience and care.” David smiled, realizing that the best things in life take time, and hard effort makes them even sweeter. 1．What does the underlined word “it” stand for in Paragraph 2?

She took two hard loaves, made a small hole in each, and put a large piece of fresh butter inside. Then she wrapped them up as usual.   Her heart beat fast as she handed him the bread. She spent the rest of the day dreaming that he would discover her kindness and thank her. Suddenly, the quiet of the afternoon was broken. The shop door flew open, and the man stormed in. His face was dark with anger. He threw the bread down hard on the table.   “I am an architect (建筑师)!” he shouted. “For the past three months, I have been working on a building plan. I draw in pencil, and I use pieces of hard bread as erasers. It works better than a rubber eraser! But now... look.”   He held up his drawing.

I have never had so much money in my life!” “You have done well.

Mole was very excited about the day. He began to think that he knew everything about boats now. So he said, “Rat! Please, I want to row!” Rat shook his head with a smile. “Not yet. It’s not as easy as it looks.” Mole was quiet, but he wanted to row indeed. He was sure he could row as well as Rat. Then, before Rat could stop him, he jumped up, and pulled the oars out of the surprised Rat’s hands. Rat fell off his seat, calling out, “Stop!

She was crying, because if she went home with no money, her father would beat her and send her to bed without supper. The swallow replied, “So what can we do about it? I can’t give her your other eye because you’ll be totally blind!” “Just do it. Do it now,” the Happy Prince told the bird. So, the swallow took out the other sapphire (蓝宝石) and flew to the crying child. He dropped the precious stone into her hand and flew back to the Happy Prince. “You can’t see now,” the swallow sobbed. “I will stay with you forever and keep you company.” He began telling the statue about all the places he had visited and all the things he had seen on his travels. After hearing the swallow’s stories, the Happy Prince said, “You have seen many wonderful things in your life. But now, I want you to fly over the city and tell me what you have seen.” The little bird flew across the city and came back. He told the Prince about old men begging in the street, homeless people crying with hunger, and children shaking with cold. There was nothing happy to report. “I am covered in gold,” the Happy Prince said. “You must take it, leaf by leaf, and give it to the poor people of this city. ▲ ” The swallow did as he was told. Day after day, he gave all the gold leaves to the poor. Finally, the statue had no gold left. The little bird sat next to the statue’s head and said, “My friend, it is time for me to die.” He kissed the Happy Prince on the lips once, and fell dead at his feet. At that moment, there was a loud crack inside the statue. The Happy Prince’s heart broke into two. — Selected from “The Happy Prince” by Oscar Wilde 1．When the swallow sobbed, he most probably felt ________.

Think about the seats in the school hall with a writing board on the right. Writing on one as a lefty (左撇子) meant turning my body around while leaving my other arm hanging in midair. My handwriting usually came out looking like crazy worms dancing on the paper. In fact, my troubles began early. When I was five, my teacher handed me a pair of child-safe scissors. They were safe, yes, but only if you were right-handed. The paper I cut looked as if it had been bitten by a dog. My teacher looked at it and just told me to “try harder.” Did she realize I was fighting a world designed for right-handed people? Things didn’t improve with age. At restaurants, I’ve developed a sixth sense for seating—always sitting to the left of right-handers, or I’d risk an elbow (手肘) fight halfway through dinner. I’ve also learned to use a right-handed mouse with my left hand, though people  still look at me like I’m performing dark magic. My grandmother once tried to “fix” me by tying my left hand behind my back. “Use your right,” she would say. I tried and poured a bowl of soup on the floor. Grandma gave up, “Maybe she’s special.” Many researchers believe that lefties are more creative  and  better at  problem-solving. Indeed, many famous artists, athletes and scientists are lefties. But when you’ ve spent your life fighting door handles and shirt buttons, little daily things are always making life hard for you. But we do see the world from the other side.  Being left-handed isn’t just about using a different hand. It’s also  about thinking differently, changing habits and joking through the challenges. After all, in a right-handed world, being a lefty isn’t wrong: it just makes life less easy, but maybe more special. 1．How was the writer’s handwriting when using seats with writing boards on the right? A．It was difficult to read. B．It looked clear and smooth. C．It was similar to others’. D．It looked common but nice. 2．What can we infer (推断) from “The paper I cut looked as if it had been bitten by a dog.” in Paragraph 3? A．The teacher thought the writer should give up cutting. B．The writer was not careful enough when cutting paper. C．The child-safe scissors are not easy for the writer to use. D．Dogs are dangerous pets just as scissors are dangerous tools. 3．The picture below shows a dining table. If everyone at the table is right-handed, which seat will the writer choose? A． B． C． D． 4．What does the writer think of being a lefty now? A．She still wishes she could change it. B．She accepts it and treats it with humor. C．She feels lucky to be born left-handed. D．She considers it as a serious disadvantage. 5．What is the writer’s purpose in writing the article? A．To explain why some people are born left-handed. B．To prove that lefties are usually smarter than righties. C．To share the everyday challenges of being left-handed. D．To encourage companies to invent more tools for lefties. Passage 2 （2026·江苏南京市育英二外·二模）   With the winter vacation coming, I realized I needed to find a part-time job, because I didn’t want to ask my parents for money. I had imagined having a job at a winter camp where I could play games with children. In fact, the only job I could find was cleaning up tables at a local convenience store.   At first, I wanted to give up the job because getting up too early in the morning made me unhappy. I’ll never forget how tired I felt on my first day, but I’ll never forget sitting together and talking about our days with my workmates for the first time, either. Suddenly, I felt good to be a member of them.   After working at the convenience store for almost one year, I was used to getting up so early, because I knew there would be a few good moments every day there.   Working at the convenience store, I’ve learned to grow into a boy who can depend on himself and get along well with others. And I’m not the shy person that I used to be. Meeting an impolite customer might make me feel bad, but very soon I could deal with it without difficulty.

Like many exchange students, she experienced what scientists call “culture shock”—a feeling of confusion and anxiety when facing a new and unfamiliar environment. However, instead of hiding in her room, Emily decided to face the challenge head-on. She started by learning to cook local dishes with her host family. “The first time I tried to make dumplings, they looked more like little boats than proper dumplings,” she laughs. “But my host mother, Mrs. Wang, never laughed at me. She just smiled and showed me how to fold the dough again and again.” Gradually, Emily began to discover the beauty of Lianyungang. She visited the Huaguo Mountain, where she was fascinated by the stories of the Monkey King. She walked along the seaside, collecting colorful shells and watching fishermen bring in their daily catch. She even joined a local calligraphy club, where she learned to write Chinese characters with a brush. “The most important thing I’ve learned is that different doesn’t mean wrong,” Emily says. “In the UK, we usually finish all the food on our plates to show we enjoyed the meal. But in China, my host family often left a little food to show they were full and satisfied. At first, I was confused, but now I understand that both are just different ways of being polite.” Professor Zhang Wei, who studies cultural exchange at Lianyungang Normal University, says Emily’s experience is valuable. “What Emily did is exactly what we hope all young people can do—embrace differences with an open mind and a brave heart. In today’s globalized world, this ability is more important than ever.” By the end of her six-month stay, Emily could make dumplings that looked almost as good as Mrs. Wang’s, and she gave a speech in Chinese at her school’s farewell party. “I came here as a stranger,” she said, “but I’m leaving as part of a family.” 1．How did Emily feel when she first arrived in Lianyungang? A．Excited and curious. B．Confused and anxious. C．Angry and disappointed. D．Tired and sleepy. 2．What did Emily do to deal with her difficulties? A．She stayed in her room most of the time. B．She called her mom for help every day. C．She actively learned about local culture. D．She asked to change to a different host family. 3．What does the underlined word “embrace” in Paragraph 5 most probably mean? A．refuse B．accept C．remember D．protect 4．What lesson can we learn from Emily’s story? A．East or west, home is best. B．When in Rome, do as the Romans do. C．Different cultures can enrich our lives. D．Learning Chinese is too difficult. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文讲述一名14岁英国交换生初到连云港时感到文化冲击，但她勇敢面对差异，学习烹饪、游览景点、体验书法，最终融入当地生活，收获成长与家庭般的温暖。 【详解】 1．第一段最后一句“...experienced what scientists call ‘culture shock’—a feeling of confusion and anxiety...”表明，Emily初到连云港时感到困惑和焦虑。 2．第二段“...instead of hiding in her room, Emily decided to face the challenge head-on.

All my friends could ride, but I was afraid of falling down. My father promised to help me. On a sunny Saturday morning, my father took me to the park. He held the back of the bicycle while I was riding. I felt safe and started to enjoy it. But after a few minutes, my father let go. I lost my balance and fell to the ground.

Express train. In one carriage, a beautiful young woman called Miss Fairchild sat comfortably—she was an experienced traveler with all the finest luxuries. Soon, two young men got on and walked down the passage. One was good-looking, with a bold and open manner; the other was heavy-built, roughly dressed and looked very glum. The two men were handcuffed (用手铐铐住) together. The only empty seat available was opposite Miss Fairchild, so they sat down there. At first, Miss Fairchild looked at them with disinterest. Then she recognized the younger man, smiled warmly and held out her gloved hand. “Well, Mr. Easton,” she said, “Aren’t you going to greet an old friend?” Mr. Easton was surprised. He shook her hand with his left hand, smiling and saying, “Please forgive my other hand—it’s busy right now.” He lifted his right hand, which was handcuffed to the older man’s left hand. Miss Fairchild’s happy expression turned to confused shock. Before Easton could speak, the older man cut in. “Excuse me for talking, miss. I see you know this marshal (法警) here. He’s taking me to Leavenworth Prison—I got seven years for counterfeiting (伪造) money. Could you ask him to put in a good word for me when we arrive? It will make things easier for me.” Miss Fairchild’s color came back. “So you’re a marshal now!” she said to Easton. Easton explained calmly that he had to take the job after getting into money trouble back in Washington. Miss Fairchild was happy for him, saying she loved the West and his new life as a brave lawman. When the two men left to go to the restroom, two passengers sitting nearby talked about what they had seen. One said, “That marshal is a really good guy.” The other said he was very young to be a marshal. The first passenger laughed, “Didn’t you get the trick? Have you ever seen a marshal handcuff a prisoner to his own right hand?” —— Adapted from Hearts and Hands 1．Why did Mr. Easton shake Miss Fairchild’s hand with his left hand?

Have you ever seen a marshal handcuff a prisoner to his own right hand?”（你没明白这个把戏吗？你见过法警把囚犯铐在自己右手上的吗？）可知，手铐的铐法揭示了真相：年长者才是真正的法警，他之前关于身份的说明是谎言。 Passage 2 （2026·江苏盐城市盐都区·二模） The day Anne turned thirteen, in June of 1942, one important person was not there.

Although his life was hard, he had always been about to paint a masterpiece (杰作), but had never yet begun it. He made little money by serving as a model to the young artists who could not pay the price of a professional. Among those young artists were Sue and Johnsy. One day, Sue told Behrman the serious illness of Johnsy. As she lay in bed, she would watch the ivy leaves (常春藤叶) fall from the old vine (藤蔓) outside her window. “When the last leaf falls,” Sue said in a low voice. “She said that she would go, too.” “Foolishness!” Behrman shouted. “Someday I will paint a masterpiece and we will live a life of success. Got it?” At night, they paid a visit to Johnsy. She was sleeping at that time. Inside her room, they looked out of the window fearfully at the last leaf on the vine. A cold rain was falling, mixed with snow. The drops were beating heavily against the shaking leaf. Johnsy woke up the next morning. She found the leaf was still on the vine, brave and green against the gray wall. Another night passed, stormy and cold, but the leaf still survived. Not long after, the doctor said Johnsy was out of danger. However, old Behrman passed away because of pneumonia (肺炎). And that afternoon, Sue came to Johnsy’s bed. “I have something to tell you, Miss Johnsy,” she said. “Mr. Behrman had been ill for only two days. When he was found by the janitor (门卫), he was helpless with pain. His shoes and clothes were all wet through and icy cold. And then a lantern, still lighted, a ladder and some brushes with green and yellow colors were found. Look out the window, dear, at the last ivy leaf on the wall. Didn’t you wonder why it never moved when the wind blew?” — Adapted from The Last Leaf 1．What is Behrman like? A．Strict and careful. B．Honest and polite. C．Friendly and patient. D．Hopeful and kind. 2．What saved Johnsy’s life? A．The warm sunshine in the morning B．The last leaf that stayed on the vine C．Behrman’s decision to move to a new place D．Sue’s decision to stop talking to Johnsy 3．What is the correct order of the following events? ① Behrman passed away because of pneumonia. ② Sue told Behrman about Johnsy’s serious illness. ③ Johnsy found the last leaf was still on the vine. ④ Behrman went out to paint the leaf in the cold night. A．②④③① B．②③④① C．④②③① D．④③②① 4．What can we infer about Behrman from the last paragraph? A．He died because he caught a cold from Sue. B．He finally painted his masterpiece by painting the leaf. C．He was angry with Sue for telling him the secret. D．He hated Johnsy because she did not thank him. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文节选自欧·亨利的《最后一片叶子》，讲述落魄画家贝尔曼为拯救失去生存希望的琼西，在暴风雨夜画出一片“永不凋零的常春藤叶”，最后琼西康复，贝尔曼却病逝的温情故事。 【详解】 1．第一段“Although his life was hard…paint a masterpiece”指出贝尔曼虽生活困顿，却始终期待画出杰作，说明他充满希望；最后一段“His shoes and clothes were all wet …moved when the wind blew?”指出他冒着风雨画叶子拯救琼西，说明他是善良的。 2．第六段通过介绍“She found the leaf was still on the vine…but the leaf still survived”，说明是那片一直留在藤蔓上的最后一片叶子给了琼西生存的勇气，救了她的命。 3．通读全文可知：首先，苏告诉贝尔曼关于琼西的严重病情（②）；接着，贝尔曼在寒冷的雨夜出去在墙上画了那片叶子（④）；第二天早上，琼西醒来发现最后一片叶子依然在藤蔓上（③）；最后，贝尔曼因为淋雨感染肺炎而去世（①）。因此正确的顺序是②④③①。 4．最后一段中提到的线索“a lantern, still lighted…green and yellow colors”，以及苏的话“Didn’t you wonder why it never moved when the wind blew?”可以推断出，墙上的最后一片叶子是贝尔曼画的。这幅画拯救了琼西的生命，正是他一生都在渴望完成的那幅“杰作”。 主题02 人与自我——哲理感悟 Passage 1 （2026·江苏扬州市邗江区·二模） It was a fine day in March when David’s uncle came to visit and handed him a small potted plant. “This is a peony seedling,” his uncle said gently. “If you look after it well, it will grow and bloom into beautiful flowers with a sweet smell.” David stared at the tiny green leaves, feeling unsure. “But I don’t know how to care for plants,” he said worriedly. “What if it dies?” His uncle patted his shoulder softly. “Don’t worry. Water it a little each morning and make sure it gets enough sunlight. Plants teach us patience and responsibility.” Though still unsure, David decided to try anyway. He put the plant by his window to get enough sunlight. Every morning, he sprinkled a small cup of water on the soil. Weeks passed, but the plant remained the same, with no sign of flowers. David sighed softly: “Maybe it will never bloom.” One evening, his mother noticed his disappointment and comforted him in a soft voice. “Growing a plant is just like reading a meaningful story. A story has its own rhythm and you can’t skip the process to rush for the ending. It is also like sowing seeds in spring—you can never expect fruits to ripen overnight. Just hold on and wait a little longer.” Encouraged by his mother’s words, David kept caring for the plant. Then one day, he was surprised to see small buds on it. A few days later, the buds bloomed into beautiful flowers. When his uncle visited again, David happily showed him the flowers. “Look! It bloomed!” His uncle smiled and said, “You did a great job—this is the gift of patience and care.” David smiled, realizing that the best things in life take time, and hard effort makes them even sweeter. 1．What does the underlined word “it” stand for in Paragraph 2? A．The sunshine. B．The smell. C．The little pot. D．The peony plant. 2．How did David feel when the plant didn’t flower for weeks? A．He felt disappointed and uncertain. B．He was eager to try new ways. C．He was upset about his uncle’s gift. D．He was glad that it was still living. 3．What does the mother really want to tell David with her words? A．Read more stories when growing plants at home. B．Valuable things need time and patience. C．The peony can’t bloom in such a short time. D．Learn to grow plants by reading stories. 4．What is the best title for this passage? A．How to Look After Healthy Plants B．The Sweet Smell of the Peony C．Patience Helps Flowers Bloom D．David’s First Experience with Gardening 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文主要讲述David收到叔叔送的牡丹幼苗，在照顾它的过程中从担心、失望到坚持，最终等到牡丹开花，并明白了美好事物需要时间和耐心的道理。 【详解】 1．根据原文第一段：“This is a peony seedling,” 和第二段：“But I don’t know how to care for plants,” he said worriedly. “What if it dies?”，可知“it”指代的是叔叔送给David的牡丹植株。 2．根据原文第四段：“Weeks passed, but the plant remained the same, with no sign of flowers. David sighed softly: ‘Maybe it will never bloom.’”和第五段：“his mother noticed his disappointment”，可知当植物几周都没开花时，David感到失望又不确定。 3．根据原文第五段：“A story has its own rhythm and you can’t skip the process to rush for the ending. It is also like sowing seeds in spring—you can never expect fruits to ripen overnight. Just hold on and wait a little longer.”，可知妈妈真正想告诉David的是珍贵的事物需要时间和耐心。 4．根据全文内容，文章通过David照顾牡丹并等待它开花的经历，传达了耐心的重要性，“Patience Helps Flowers Bloom”最能概括文章主旨。 Passage 2 （2026·江苏宿迁市苏州外国语学校·二模） Miss Martha owned a small bakery (面包店). She was forty, a kind woman with a big imagination. She often wondered about the customers in her shop.   One customer made her very curious. He was a middle-aged man with glasses, who always wore old clothes, but clean. He came twice a week, and each time, he only bought two loaves (条) of hard bread. He never looked at her delicious pies or fresh cakes.   Miss Martha decided he must be a poor, hungry artist. She imagined him living in a very small, cheap room, thinking only about his painting so much that he forgot to eat. The idea touched her kind heart. She began to wish she could help him.   The next time he came to the shop, she acted quickly while his back was turned. She took two hard loaves, made a small hole in each, and put a large piece of fresh butter inside. Then she wrapped them up as usual.   Her heart beat fast as she handed him the bread. She spent the rest of the day dreaming that he would discover her kindness and thank her. Suddenly, the quiet of the afternoon was broken. The shop door flew open, and the man stormed in. His face was dark with anger. He threw the bread down hard on the table.   “I am an architect (建筑师)!” he shouted. “For the past three months, I have been working on a building plan. I draw in pencil, and I use pieces of hard bread as erasers. It works better than a rubber eraser! But now... look.”   He held up his drawing. A huge, dirty mark from the butter ran across the clean, straight lines.   “You filled my bread with butter!” he shouted. “My work is damaged!” 1．What does the first paragraph introduce? A．The meaning of the story. B．The ending of the story. C．The background of the story. D．The surprise of the story. 2．Why did Miss Martha put butter in the man’s bread? A．To help the man in secret.

D．To make the bread look better. 3．What’s the correct time order of the following events?   ①The man went to the shop angrily.   ②Miss Martha was curious about the man.   ③The man began to work on a building plan.   ④The man tried to erase lines with the bread that had butter inside. A．②④①③ B．③②④① C．③④②① D．②③④① 4．What might Miss Martha realize in the end? A．Good actions need real understanding first. B．People had better try to make perfect plans. C．You should avoid offering help to strangers. D．It’s impolite to ask about other people’s lives. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文主要讲述了面包店老板娘玛莎小姐出于善意，偷偷在一位常来买硬面包的顾客的面包里塞黄油，结果好心办坏事，那位顾客其实是建筑师，用硬面包当橡皮擦修改建筑图纸，结果黄油毁掉了他三个月的工作成果。 【详解】 1．第一段介绍了玛莎小姐四十岁，经营一家小面包店，想象力丰富，经常对店里的顾客产生好奇。这直接说明了故事发生的背景信息。 2．根据文章第三段，“decided he must be a poor, hungry artist”玛莎小姐认定他是个贫穷饥饿的艺术家，“The idea touched her kind heart. She began to wish she could help him”这个想法触动了她的善心，她开始希望能帮助他，以及第四段内容，因此她趁他转身时偷偷把黄油塞进面包里，希望秘密地帮助这个男人。 3．全文按时间顺序梳理为，首先第七段提到“For the past three months, I have been working on a building plan”男人三个月前开始绘制建筑图，这是背景事件，其次根据第二段“One customer made her very curious”表明玛莎对男人产生好奇，之后在第七段提到男人用塞了黄油的面包擦线条，最后第六段“the man stormed in... His face was dark with anger”表明男人愤怒冲进店里。 4．最后一段男人的怒吼“You filled my bread with butter!…My work is damaged!”以及玛莎小姐从始至终都未曾真正了解对方的需求，这说明了善意的行为需要先真正了解对方这个道理。 Passage 3 （2026·江苏泰州市高港区·二模） A long time ago, there lived two woodcutters called Barry and Kent in a village. Every morning, they went out into the forest and cut wood to sell at a nearby market. One hot day, the woodcutters were eating their lunch under a tree when a beggar (乞丐) came walking towards them. “My name is Clark, and I’m very hungry.” said the beggar, as he walked up to the two woodcutters. “Can you spare a little of your lunch for me?” Barry felt great pity for Clark, and he took from his bag some food that he kept for later, and wanted to give it to the poor man. But to his surprise, Kent, who was a kind man too, stopped him from offering the food. Kent said to Clark, “We both work all day long and we only have enough food to get us through the day. But if you wish, I can lend you my ax (斧子) and teach you to cut wood. Then you can sell the wood. And you will have a good chance of buying yourself food.” Clark looked a bit unhappy because he had been so looking forward to the food. But after a second thought, he took Kent’s ax, and then watched carefully as Kent explained how to cut wood. Clark was slow at first, but hours later, he began to cut wood more quickly. At the end of the day, the three men walked to the market, carrying the wood that they had cut. Very soon, all of their wood was sold out. “Look at this!” Clark said with excitement “It’s amazing! I have never had so much money in my life!” “You have done well. After all, it was your first try,” said Kent, and then he took Clark to a shop in the town and helped him choose an ax. “Thank you for everything you did for me,” Clark said to Kent and walked away happily. 1．Why did Kent stop Barry from giving food to Clark? A．Because he disliked the lazy beggar. B．Because Barry’s food was not fresh at all. C．Because they had no extra food for others. D．Because they wanted to drive Clark away. 2．What’s the correct order according to the passage? ① Kent helped Clark choose a new ax. ② A beggar asked them for some food. ③ They sold all the wood at the market. ④ Two woodcutters had lunch under a tree. ⑤ Clark learnt to cut wood with Kent’s help. A．④②⑤③① B．④②①⑤③ C．②④⑤①③ D．②④⑤③① 3．What can we infer about Kent from the story? A．He refused to help anyone in need. B．He chose a wiser way to help others. C．He made little money by cutting wood. D．He was cold and selfish to poor people. 4．How does Clark feel at the end of that day? A．Sad and tired B．Shy and worried C．Excited and thankful D．bored and regretful 5．What does the story teach us? A．Where there is a will, there is a way. B．Better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. C．Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today. D．A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了伐木工肯特和巴里遇到乞丐克拉克时，肯特没有直接施舍食物，而是教他砍树谋生，帮他靠劳动获得收入的故事。 【详解】 1．根据文中Kent说的话“We both work all day long and we only have enough food to get us through the day.”可知，他们只有够维持一天的食物，没有多余的食物给别人。 2．原文第二段中“One hot day, the woodcutters were eating their lunch under a tree when a beggar came walking towards them.”对应事件④“两个伐木工在树下吃午饭”；原文第三段中“‘My name is Clark, and I’m very hungry,’ said the beggar... ‘Can you spare a little of your lunch for me?’”对应事件②“乞丐向他们讨要食物”；原文第七段中“Clark looked a bit unhappy... he took Kent’s ax, and then watched carefully as Kent explained how to cut wood.”对应事件⑤“克拉克在肯特的帮助下学习砍木头”；原文第八段中“At the end of the day, the three men walked to the market, carrying the wood that they had cut. Very soon, all of their wood was sold out.”对应事件③“他们在市场卖掉了所有的木头”；原文第九段中“...then he took Clark to a shop in the town and helped him choose an ax.”对应事件①“肯特帮克拉克选了一把新斧头。”。 因此，正确顺序为④②⑤③①，对应A选项。 3．结合文中“Kent没有直接给乞丐食物，而是借给他斧子并教他砍柴谋生，帮助乞丐自力更生”可知，他选择了一种更明智的帮助方式，对应B选项。 4．根据文中“Clark said with excitement”以及最后他的话语和行动“Thank you for everything... walked away happily”可知，他感到兴奋且感激。 5．整个故事讲述了Kent通过教乞丐技能让他获得长期生存能力，而不是直接施舍食物，这正体现了“授人以鱼不如授人以渔”的道理。 主题03 人与社会——寓言童话 Passage 1 （2026·江苏淮安外国语学校·二模） Soon Rat began to row gently towards home while the sun went down behind the trees. Mole was very excited about the day. He began to think that he knew everything about boats now. So he said, “Rat! Please, I want to row!” Rat shook his head with a smile. “Not yet. It’s not as easy as it looks.” Mole was quiet, but he wanted to row indeed. He was sure he could row as well as Rat. Then, before Rat could stop him, he jumped up, and pulled the oars out of the surprised Rat’s hands. Rat fell off his seat, calling out, “Stop! You’ll have us in the river!” Mole made a great dig, but the oars never touched the water at all. Mole fell over. Frightened, he tried to hold the side of the boat, and the next moment—splash! Mole and Rat and the lunch basket were all in the water. Of course, it was Rat who pulled Mole out of the water. Rat turned the boat right way up and got the lunch basket from the bottom of the river. And he laughed and laughed. When all was ready again, the poor Mole sat in the boat very wet. As they left, he said in a low voice, “Rat, I have been so silly. I am really sorry indeed.” “Never mind!” replied Rat kindly. “I’m always in and out of the water myself, so don’t worry about it. I’ll teach you to row and to swim.” Mole found no words to say at that moment. When they got home, they had a good hot dinner in front of a bright fire while Rat told exciting stories of life on the river. Then he took Mole upstairs to the best bedroom, and soon Mole was lying warm and comfortable, listening to the sound of his new friend the River running past his bedroom window. Adapted from The Wind In The Willows 1．Why did Mole want to row the boat? A．He wanted to prove he was better than Rat. B．He wanted to go home faster. C．He thought he knew everything about boats. D．Rat asked him to take a turn at rowing. 2．What happened right after Mole pulled the oars from Rat’s hands? A．The boat hit a rock. B．Rat fell off his seat. C．The lunch basket fell into the water. D．Mole fell into the river immediately. 3．Which of the following is the correct order of the story? ①Rat pulled Mole out of the water.  ②Mole asked to row the boat. ③Mole fell into the river.  ④They had a hot dinner by the fire. ⑤Mole said sorry to Rat.

C．Rowing a boat is much more difficult than it looks. D．You should never try new things without training. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了鼹鼠Mole在河边看到Rat划船后，自认为已经掌握技巧，不顾劝阻抢过船桨，导致两人和午餐篮都落水。Rat不仅没有责怪，反而耐心安慰并承诺教他划船和游泳，体现了朋友间的包容与关爱。 【详解】 1．根据文章第一段第三句“He began to think that he knew everything about boats now. So he said, ‘Rat! Please, I want to row!’”可知，Mole想要划船是因为他自以为现在关于船的一切他都懂了。 2．根据文章第三段第二句“Then, before Rat could stop him, he jumped up, and pulled the oars out of the surprised Rat’s hands. Rat fell off his seat...”可知，Mole抢过船桨后，紧接着发生的动作是Rat从座位上摔了下来。 3．根据故事发展顺序：首先Mole请求划船（②Mole asked to row the boat）；接着船翻后Mole落水（③Mole fell into the river）；然后Rat把Mole拉出水面（①Rat pulled Mole out of the water）；之后Mole道歉（⑤ Mole said sorry to Rat）；最后回家吃晚饭（④They had a hot dinner by the fire）。正确顺序为②③①⑤④。 4．文章虽然讲述了Mole因自负导致翻船的事故，但重点描写了事故发生后Rat对Mole的帮助（拉他出水、救午餐篮）、原谅（“Never mind!”）以及照顾（教他游泳、提供温暖卧室），这些体现了朋友之间应该互相帮助和包容的主题。 Passage 2 （2026·江苏无锡市宜兴市·二模） The following day, the Happy Prince said, “Please, dear swallow. Don’t go to Egypt today. Stay and help me one more time. Over there is a little girl selling matches. But she has dropped most of them in a puddle, and now they are useless. She was crying, because if she went home with no money, her father would beat her and send her to bed without supper. The swallow replied, “So what can we do about it? I can’t give her your other eye because you’ll be totally blind!” “Just do it. Do it now,” the Happy Prince told the bird. So, the swallow took out the other sapphire (蓝宝石) and flew to the crying child. He dropped the precious stone into her hand and flew back to the Happy Prince. “You can’t see now,” the swallow sobbed. “I will stay with you forever and keep you company.” He began telling the statue about all the places he had visited and all the things he had seen on his travels. After hearing the swallow’s stories, the Happy Prince said, “You have seen many wonderful things in your life. But now, I want you to fly over the city and tell me what you have seen.” The little bird flew across the city and came back. He told the Prince about old men begging in the street, homeless people crying with hunger, and children shaking with cold. There was nothing happy to report. “I am covered in gold,” the Happy Prince said. “You must take it, leaf by leaf, and give it to the poor people of this city. ▲ ” The swallow did as he was told. Day after day, he gave all the gold leaves to the poor. Finally, the statue had no gold left. The little bird sat next to the statue’s head and said, “My friend, it is time for me to die.” He kissed the Happy Prince on the lips once, and fell dead at his feet. At that moment, there was a loud crack inside the statue. The Happy Prince’s heart broke into two. — Selected from “The Happy Prince” by Oscar Wilde 1．When the swallow sobbed, he most probably felt ________. A．proud but a bit afraid B．excited but a bit angry C．worried but a bit moved D．curious but a bit nervous 2．Which sentence is the most suitable for ▲ ? A．When you love art, you must keep it perfect. B．When you love someone, nothing is too much. C．When you love yourself, gold is the most important. D．When you love your city, you need to stay shining. 3．What is the main theme of the Happy Prince in this passage? A．Full of love. B．Full of joy. C．Full of lies. D．Full of hope. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 【导语】本文节选自奥斯卡·王尔德的《快乐王子》，讲述了快乐王子为了帮助穷人和小女孩，让燕子取下自己的蓝宝石和金叶子，最终燕子死去、王子心碎的故事。 【详解】 1．燕子取下王子的另一颗蓝宝石后，王子完全失明。燕子说“You can’t see now...I will stay with you forever and keep you company.”并哽咽。由此可以推断，燕子此时既为王子失去双眼感到担心，又被王子的善举所感动，因此他感到“担心但又有点感动”。 2．王子让燕子取下所有金叶子分给穷人，横线后燕子照做了。结合王子一贯的善良和牺牲精神，可以推断横线处应填入“当你爱一个人时，没有什么是过分的”这一体现无私奉献的句子。 3．全文讲述了快乐王子不惜失去双眼和金叶去帮助穷人和小女孩，最终心碎而死的故事。因此文章的主题是“充满爱”。 主题04 人与自我——个人经历 Passage 1 （2026·江苏泰州市靖江外国语学校·二模） Being left-handed sounds cool— until you realize it’s less about talent and more about daily survival. Think about the seats in the school hall with a writing board on the right. Writing on one as a lefty (左撇子) meant turning my body around while leaving my other arm hanging in midair. My handwriting usually came out looking like crazy worms dancing on the paper. In fact, my troubles began early. When I was five, my teacher handed me a pair of child-safe scissors. They were safe, yes, but only if you were right-handed. The paper I cut looked as if it had been bitten by a dog. My teacher looked at it and just told me to “try harder.” Did she realize I was fighting a world designed for right-handed people? Things didn’t improve with age. At restaurants, I’ve developed a sixth sense for seating—always sitting to the left of right-handers, or I’d risk an elbow (手肘) fight halfway through dinner. I’ve also learned to use a right-handed mouse with my left hand, though people  still look at me like I’m performing dark magic. My grandmother once tried to “fix” me by tying my left hand behind my back. “Use your right,” she would say. I tried and poured a bowl of soup on the floor. Grandma gave up, “Maybe she’s special.” Many researchers believe that lefties are more creative  and  better at  problem-solving. Indeed, many famous artists, athletes and scientists are lefties. But when you’ ve spent your life fighting door handles and shirt buttons, little daily things are always making life hard for you. But we do see the world from the other side.  Being left-handed isn’t just about using a different hand. It’s also  about thinking differently, changing habits and joking through the challenges. After all, in a right-handed world, being a lefty isn’t wrong: it just makes life less easy, but maybe more special. 1．How was the writer’s handwriting when using seats with writing boards on the right? A．It was difficult to read. B．It looked clear and smooth. C．It was similar to others’. D．It looked common but nice. 2．What can we infer (推断) from “The paper I cut looked as if it had been bitten by a dog.” in Paragraph 3? A．The teacher thought the writer should give up cutting. B．The writer was not careful enough when cutting paper. C．The child-safe scissors are not easy for the writer to use. D．Dogs are dangerous pets just as scissors are dangerous tools. 3．The picture below shows a dining table. If everyone at the table is right-handed, which seat will the writer choose? A． B． C． D． 4．What does the writer think of being a lefty now? A．She still wishes she could change it. B．She accepts it and treats it with humor. C．She feels lucky to be born left-handed. D．She considers it as a serious disadvantage. 5．What is the writer’s purpose in writing the article? A．To explain why some people are born left-handed. B．To prove that lefties are usually smarter than righties. C．To share the everyday challenges of being left-handed. D．To encourage companies to invent more tools for lefties. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．B 5．C 【来源】江苏泰州市靖江外国语学校2025~2026学年度适应性考试（二） 九年级英语 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要是作者结合自身成长经历，分享左撇子在以右撇子设计的世界里遇到的各类日常麻烦，最后坦然接纳左撇子身份，认为这份与众不同让生活特别。 【详解】 1．第二段最后一句“My handwriting usually came out looking like crazy worms dancing on the paper.”，字迹像纸上乱爬的虫子，代表字迹潦草、难以辨认。 2．第三段第3、4句“They were safe, yes, but only if you were right-handed. The paper I cut looked as if it had been bitten by a dog.”，剪刀只适合右撇子使用，作者剪出的纸边缘参差不齐，能推断出这款儿童安全剪刀对作者（左撇子）不好用。 3．第四段第二句“always sitting to the left of right-handers, or I’d risk an elbow fight halfway through dinner.”，作者要坐在右撇子的左手边（画面视角的右侧座位），避免手肘碰撞。 4．最后一段整段“It’s also about thinking differently, changing habits and joking through the challenges…being a lefty isn’t wrong: it just makes life less easy, but maybe more special.”，作者以幽默口吻讲述所有生活难题，结尾坦然接受自己左撇子的身份。 5．全文首段与整体行文脉络“Being left-handed sounds cool—until you realize it’s less about talent and more about daily survival…little daily things are always making life hard for you.”，全文列举校园、餐厅、居家等各类左撇子日常困境，写作目的就是分享身为左撇子遇到的日常挑战。 Passage 2 （2026·江苏南京市育英二外·二模）   With the winter vacation coming, I realized I needed to find a part-time job, because I didn’t want to ask my parents for money. I had imagined having a job at a winter camp where I could play games with children. In fact, the only job I could find was cleaning up tables at a local convenience store.   At first, I wanted to give up the job because getting up too early in the morning made me unhappy. I’ll never forget how tired I felt on my first day, but I’ll never forget sitting together and talking about our days with my workmates for the first time, either. Suddenly, I felt good to be a member of them.   After working at the convenience store for almost one year, I was used to getting up so early, because I knew there would be a few good moments every day there.   Working at the convenience store, I’ve learned to grow into a boy who can depend on himself and get along well with others. And I’m not the shy person that I used to be. Meeting an impolite customer might make me feel bad, but very soon I could deal with it without difficulty.

In fact, the only job I could find was cleaning up tables at a local convenience store.”，作者原本期待冬令营的工作，实际只能在便利店擦桌子，由此可知他最初感到失望。 2．根据最后一段第1句“Working at the convenience store, I’ve learned to grow into a boy who can depend on himself and get along well with others.”，说明作者在便利店工作后实现了自我提升，与D项“The writer improved himself after working at the convenience store”表述一致。A项“The writer didn’t want to go back to the convenience store at last”与最后一句“can’t wait to go back”矛盾；B项“The writer had few good moments at the convenience store”与第三段第1句“there would be a few good moments every day”矛盾；C项“The writer forgot talking about their days with his workmates”与第二段第2句“I’ll never forget sitting together and talking about our days with my workmates for the first time, either.”矛盾。 3．第四段第3句 “Meeting an impolite customer might make me feel bad, but very soon I could deal with it without difficulty.”，此处 it 指代前文提到的 “遇到无礼的顾客”，impolite意为“无礼的”，与选项C中的“rude”同义。 4．文章主要围绕作者在便利店的兼职经历及从中获得的成长感悟展开，体现了这段经历的意义，因此最佳标题为“A meaningful work experience”。 1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
